Check out Very Small Objects by Brian Collier, an art project that doubles as an extended Perec-ish joke on classification. His artist’s statement explains it well:

“In my projects and installations I combine quasi-scientific techniques of collection, analysis, and categorization with presentation strategies taken from science and natural history museums. I also frequently disrupt or pair these strategies with humor, competing aesthetic frameworks, and attention to moments that do not comfortably fit scientific models.”
